What I do: I build teams to solve complex problems

Why pay theory? I started pay theory with Brad because I saw the issues for underbanked families in education and thought we could use tech to change how schools do payments.

Background: Before co-founding pay theory, I spent 7 years running an Edtech CMS company, and founded and exited Soundstr, a music technology company. I have managed a wide range of technology projects, and specialize in building teams to address challenging concepts. I advise a wide range of startups in our local Cincinnati entrepreneur ecosystem on tech, strategy, and innovation.

My Family: I’m husband to Molly, and father to Julian (17), and Clara (6) both who are high energy animal lovers who play on our farm. We have 3 dogs, 3 cats, and a farm full of animals. We are an active outdoor family who loves hiking, camping, and working on our farm.

Education: 20 years of experience in the applied technology development industry and three paid exits from companies I founded.
